From the park to the perk

Another day out in Chester called for ice cream beside the river followed by a stroll through the park. We tucked into irresistibly good pork rolls, did a spot of retail therapy and felt just like Monica and Rachel (our alter ego's) as we took time out to relax in the central perk cafe. 

Thanks for reading! If anyone has any 'places to go and see in Chester' recommendations for us then please share it so we can go explore some more!

Hickory's by the river

One of the joy's of being northerners now (If you can classify the people of North Wales as northerners) is being down the road from great cities like Chester. Aside from the fact it has all the great high street shops and more, Chester is also absolutely, knock your socks off -  beautiful! For one, The architecture is incredible. As you walk down the cobbled streets admiring all the historical buildings it is all rather surreal, we couldn't help but take pictures!

 Following a walk along the river, we decided to eat lunch at Hickory's Smokehouse, which f.y.i is one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. As soon as you are seated at a table the waiting staff are on hand with glasses of water and complimentary popcorn which is just the nicest touch! We ate The Big Pig Burgers which were pulled pork at it's best (still dreaming of it now) and washed it down with Blueberry lemonade's which were the epitome of refreshing! Their signature BBQ sauce is probably the best we've ever tasted so get your butts to your nearest restaurant to find out what you're missing! We've put together a gallery of the day, hopefully it inspires you to take a trip to Chester and to indulge in the wonderfulness that is Hickory's while you're there.

Exploring Liverpool

This weekend we celebrated one half of TurnerTurner's 19th Birthday by making a trip to Liverpool so we could do some shopping, dining and just overall strolling around the city! We decided to get the train in to James street station so that we could have a walk around the docks which was so lovely as the weather was very good to us! We didn't have time to go into the TATE museum or the Beatles experience however they are definitely on the agenda the next time we make a visit! The city is rich with history with many maritime monuments, the old great western railway station, historical ships, as well as being a great spot for retail therapy - especially in the Liverpool one shopping centre. We plan on sharing our clothes haul with you in the next blog post but for now here's some photographs from our fun filled family day out!
